::Are you familiar with the phrase "be careful what you wish for, it might come true"? You should be, because after all the talk about ghosts, it seems there are some new residents on Duel Academy Island. Students who linger in the library or in the woods too late at night, or come too early in the morning, may find themselves staring at vaguely humanoid creatures, stark white and nearly featureless except for a pair of completely black eyes which seem to look at nothing in particular. They seem 'out of phase', partially transparent and oddly deformed in fluctuating ways, like they don't belong in this world.::

::Should a person make the mistake of staring too long, the creatures suddenly stare back.::

::Perhaps you are one such person... and perhaps you have stared a little too long... what do you do now?::

::The creature stares at her for a moment, then leans it's head towards her, and opens it's vertical mouth with it's rows of jagged, razor sharp teeth, and lets out a shriek like a banshee.::

::...on the plus side, it didn't get in her face to do so.::

*Incredibly startled, Ruka falls backwards from the chair she's sitting on, then quickly shuffles backwards, looking quite scared*

W-what are you?

::It seemingly has no language with which to respond, as it distorts and vanishes, like it was sucked out of a pinhole in reality.::

*Ruka stares at where the strange being had been, seemingly too shocked to move, but also wondering if what she saw was even real...*

::Well, it sure seems real, popping out of nowhere just a few feet away from Ruka, teeth bared and letting out another horrible screech.::

::...granted, it doesn't seem to be casting much of a shadow. ...on the other hand, does Ruka really want to find out if those teeth are just for show? I think not.::

*As soon as the creature pops out of nowhere and screeches at her again with it's teeth bared, Ruka screams and bolts out of the library as fast as she can*

::Poor Ruka.::

::At least the creature doesn't seem to be chasing. ...that Ruka can tell, anyway.::

*Whether it is or isn't, Ruka keeps on running down the hall until she runs out of breath... which is fairly quickly*

[duelacademynpcs.livejournal.com]

::Since Ruka didn't run very far, she might be able to hear a faint wailing sound coming from the library... joined by a few others. After a little while, even those sounds fade... and it appears nothing is coming after Ruka anymore. Indeed, should she decide to look back in the library, the creatures are all gone.::

*Ruka's curiosity does get the better of her and she does look into the library again to see there is now nothing there... but she isn't feeling brave enough to go in again, so she decides to head back to her dorm room... as quick as she can.*
